WiseWay’s Off-Grid Power Pellet Stove

I saw these on display at a trade show one summer and they looked incredibly easy to use and very economical and environmentally friendly. Click here to learn more or read an excerpt below.

Running on high, the WiseWay pellet stove produces up to 31,000 BTUs, which puts it on par with our DutchWest wood burner, a stove that keeps our 1,600-square-foot log home cozy on the coldest nights. At the high setting, the WiseWay stove will burn through a 40-pound bag of wood pellets in 10 to 12 hours, while on the lowest setting it will produce steady heat for up to 32 hours.

Slender Design

Its slender design means that the WiseWay can fit in a smaller space than the traditional blocky wood stove. It requires only a 3- or 4- inch chimney for venting.

The Stove Ash Tray

The small amount of ash in the tray is all that’s left after burning a 40-pound bag of pellets. Set on high, it takes 10 to 12 hours to burn through a 40-pound bag.
